REST!
Yes, I know it is snowing and cold. I need you to come in on this rest day to learn some Olympic lifting. Today, we will teach the Snatch. We will also provide hot chocolate as an incentive to come and get better on your Olympic lifting.
No, we will not provide marshmallows!

I would be happy doing anything other than the HQ page… Elizabeth on steroids!
Agreed, DJ.
I just checked my time from when I did Diane a year ago and it was just over 13:00 with 205# DL and probably really sh&%$y ROM on the HSPU. I'll do it RX'd today and head-to-abmat HSPU or they don't count.
Fuller/DJ, you guys down for this too?
This sucked! I tried 225# DL w/ 95# Press. After 10 DL had to scale down to 185#.
No time because I did not start stop watch.
I can’t wait to try HSPU. Should be fun.
sorry Jerry,
I will be coaching the little rowers tonight… I think my schedual will end up being:
I am coaching Juniors on Monday but will come down to workout at TitanFit after that (be there by 6)
Rowing up there on Tue and Thursday both Jr’s and Masters
So Wed, Fri, Sat, Sun I will be around TF normal times – with a day in there to rest from time to time
have fun good luck with those HSPU
I’ve got a home repair to make, so I’m not sure if I’ll make it tonite. But I’ll give it a go the next time I’m in.
I too will do full ROM HSPU. The last time ROM was pretty good until the round of 9.
KF
As RX’d – 9:10(PR)
all reps were legit and DLs were lowered to ground. HSPUs were head-to-abmat.
BBH
10:01
295 DL
Inverted (24 inch) push-ups. this was 3:00 faster than press. i think press is a better sub. will do 190 Press next time. let’s hope it is not a year from now!
